I wake up to the annoying ringing of my alarm, and a bird making 'music' outside. I roll over and check the time on my clock. 6:45. Sometimes I wonder who made school start so early. It's not like I chose to be put in this world, so why should I have to go to school here?

Just before I could get too pissed off at school, my mind replayed the memory of last night. Jayden. A few months back I decided I was gonna stay out of relationships for a while, because of my last few break ups. I had 3. 3 boys that broke my heart one by one. After that I told myself I was gonna stay single for a while, but I guess with Jayden I felt something different. Something else.

"Honey, you're gonna be late for school!" I heard dad shout up the stairs.

But I wasn't. Last night Jayden said he could drive me to school this morning. So that at least gives me a little bit more time to get ready.

I walk over to my bathroom, throw on my ripped mom jeans and a plain white t shirt, pull my hair into a messy bun and wash my face. Before I run downstairs I opened the old shutters on my window. The sunlight shone through in small lines of yellows and golds.

Downstairs once again I could smell the most amazing breakfast. Forest berry granola with greek yogurt. My favourite.

"Thanks dad this smells amazing." I said, my mouth half-full.

"Hey! Remember table manners. No talking with your mouth full."

After I had completely demolished my granola, there was a knock on the door.

"I'll get it." I said, stumbling over trying to slide on my red converse.

I opened the door to reveal Jayden's face.

"Hey, you ready to go yet?" he asked.

"Uh huh. Let me just say goodbye to my dad and get my bag."

I ran over to the couch, grabbed my checkered bag and shouted to my dad. Jayden opened the car door for me and I stepped in. My nose was immediately invaded with the thick scent of his aftershave. He got in the drivers seat and we drove off.

"Bitch were my eyes fooling me or were you in the same car as Jayden Summers?" asked Penny.

"No comment." I replied.

Both Penny and Aracelis squealed.

"Okay, okay, calm down. What have you guys got first period?" I said.

"I have Chemistry in F." Replied Aracelis.

"I have Math in E." Said Penny.

"Ooh! Me too!" I said.

Penny and I walked to Math and waved goodbye to Aracelis.

I walked into the classroom later than I wanted too.

"Miss Jackson you are late. Would you mind explaining to the class your reason for that?"

"Um.. I got lost on my way here. Sorry sir. I'll take my seat silently." I said, my voice cracking.

That was so embarrassing. Late on the second week? Wow Aria. Really impressed.

First period went by in what felt like years until the bell finally rang and snapped me out of my clueless daydreams. I grabbed my books and my bag and walked out the classroom. I checked my schedule to see what I had next. English. I hated English in my last school. What's the point in learning about Shakespearean english if we don't even use it anymore?

Penny and I walked into English whilst Aracelis walked to her Geography class. I waited by the teachers desk to be assigned my seat.

"Hello poppet, would you mind waiting a second?" said the lovely teacher behind the desk.

I took a look around the classroom. In the back corners there were groups of girls (whom I'm assuming were cheerleaders) giggling about some of the jocks in front of them. Why would you fall for someone like that? They just see women as objects and play with their heartstrings. I'm not stupid like them though. I know who and who not to hang out with.

"Okay class, please settle down. Today we have a new student joining us. Please say hello to Aria."

"Yo babe let's go out sometime?" shouted one of the jocks from the back.

The class sniggered.

"No thanks. I don't go out with bags of trash. But thanks for the offer!" I shot back.

The class cheered. Great. Can I just get my seat and get on with the work? I sit down and slump back into my chair. Why is the desk next to mine empty? I wonder who sits there...

"Miss who shares this desk with me?" I asked the teacher.

As soon as I said that, someone burst through the door.

"That would be me." replied the voice.

QOTD: What's your favourite book?
